Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to wire-feed welding devices and to methods and apparatus for controlling such wire-feed welding devices.
  • FIG. 4 is a timing diagram for operation of a wire feed welding system, in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present technique
  • Advancement of these welding resources is effectuated by actuation of a trigger 24 secured to a handle 26.
  • a trigger 24 secured to a handle 26.
  • a switch disposed within the trigger 24 is closed, causing the transmission of an electrical signal that commands delivery of the welding resources through the welding cable 18.
  • the welding system 10 includes a controller 30, which effectuates control of the welding resources.
  • the controller includes one or more input devices 32, which are discussed further below.
  • FIG. 2 is a simplified schematic of welding system controller 30 in relation to various other components of the welding system 10.
  • the exemplary controller 30 includes main control circuitry 34 that receives inputs, processes these inputs, and provides output commands to the welding system 10.
  • the main control circuitry includes a central logic circuit 36, such as a processor or programmable logic controller (PLC).
  • the central logic circuit 36 communicates with a memory circuit 38, which stores operational data as well as operator-provided data or settings.
  • the exemplary main control circuitry 34 receives control power, which is conditioned to an appropriate level from the main power input (V_IN) by a control power transformer 32.
  • the main control circuitry 34 may determine the waveform, and thus, zero-crossing points of the input power (V IN) via the input control power or via a separate input signal, and use these identified points as discussed further below.
  • the logic circuitry 36 of the main control circuitry 34 commands various components of the welding system 10. For example, it commands a relay switch 50 through switch control circuitry 52. By activating the relay switch 50, a signal is sent to a gas valve relay 54, which opens or closes a gas valve to activate or deactivate the flow of shielding material (e.g., gas) from the shielding material source 22 (see,FIG.1).
  • the main control circuitry 34 controls an SCR gate driver 60 through SCR control circuitry 62.
  • the SCR control circuitry 62 of the main control circuitry 34 provides the desired firing angle to the SCR gate driver, and this firing angle controls the output power to the welding cable 18 (see FIG. 1 ).
  • contact between the wire electrode and the workpiece 14 can be measured by monitoring the output voltage value across the capacitor 48 (V MEASURED), as in the illustrated example, by monitoring the output voltage (V OUT), by monitoring the output current in the wire electrode, such as via a Hall Effect sensor, among other well know techniques.
  • V MEASURED output voltage value across the capacitor 48
  • V OUT output voltage
  • a threshold voltage set for instance, 2 volts below the open circuit voltage of the system may be employed.
  • the main control circuitry 34 may adjust the firing angle based on a comparison of the expected voltage value set by the input device 38 and the measured value (V MEASURED), with the adjustments remaining within the bounds set by a limiting device.
  • V MEASURED the measured value
  • the welding system may return to the initial state, at which point the firing angle is again temporarily clamped at the predetermined nominal or initiating firing angle. That is, following time T 5 , control becomes closed-loop.
  • the transition between open-loop operation and closed-loop operation may be a step, but it may be preferable to smoothly transition between these stages of arc initiation, such as by implementing a sloped voltage transition until the closed-loop steady state level is obtained.
  • the voltage may still be held between the desired upper and lower limits determined by the clamped firing times to avoid large variations in voltage and thereby to stabilize and smoothen the welding operation.
  • the transitions between the various wire feed speeds indicated in Figure 4 may be implemented as a step as shown or may be implemented as a sloped transition.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un système permettant de commander une opération de soudage qui permet la commande en boucle ouverte de la tension appliquée sur une électrode filaire pendant une étape de fonctionnement de lancement d'arc initial. La tension peut être fondée sur une tension réglée par un opérateur. Les vitesses d'alimentation en fil d'électrode peuvent être modifiées pendant la même période. La tension peut être changée, mais encore commandée en boucle ouverte après un contact initial entre l'électrode et une pièce de travail. Les transitions de commande depuis la boucle ouverte jusqu'à une boucle fermée suivant l'étape de lancement d'arc peuvent être un intervalle fixe ou variable en fonction de divers facteurs. La commande de tension en boucle fermée s'ensuit alors, et la tension peut être limitée à des valeurs fondées sur la tension initiale en boucle ouverte. La tension peut être régulée par la commande d'angles de mise en conduction d'un thyristor, comme par exemple par référence à un passage par zéro d'une forme d'onde alternative d'entrée.
